Vanilla Cream Dessert (Print Version)

Smooth and creamy vanilla dessert served chilled with fruity toppings. A snap to make yet stunning to serve.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1/3 cup white sugar
02 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
03 - 2 cups thick cream
04 - .25 ounce packet plain gelatin (1 tablespoon)
05 - 1 cup half and half cream
06 - 2 tablespoons chilled water

→ For Serving

07 - Fresh mint sprigs
08 - Raspberry topping

# Steps:

01 - In a little bowl, stir together the cold water and gelatin powder until smooth. Leave it alone so the gelatin can soak up the liquid.
02 - In a big pot, whisk the sugar, heavy cream, and half and half together. Heat on medium until it starts to steam (around 140°F), but don’t let it boil.
03 - Take the cream off the burner. Mix in the gelatin and vanilla, making sure it’s completely melted.
04 - Evenly pour the cream into eight ramekins, about half a cup per dish. Let them cool naturally, cover, and put in the fridge overnight.
05 - To serve, loosen the edges with a knife, dip the ramekins briefly in hot water, and carefully flip onto plates. Garnish with mint and raspberry sauce.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - You can serve this in the ramekins or in clear glass cups without flipping them out.
02 - No half and half? Use 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/4 cup whole milk as a swap.
